im curios how many copies of black ops2 sold on wii u? i feel like not a lot :(
Seeing as i have only seen max online about 900 players, i would say not much :/
You have cuya to take into accaount that many people bought diffrent games. Lets say 400,000 divided into 23 titles and low numbers for games show up
i hope this does not discriminate us from DLC.
Early days really, and its only out in America. COD already has a large fanbase on the 360 mainly, and a decent one on the ps3 and PC. Give it a month, and it should be fine.
Or dont play it, seeing as its boring as hell and exactly the same as the previous 5 games
WiiU is’int out in Japan yet.
yet idk how cod sells on japan?
The WiiU version has not been released in Japan yet.
They should have released monster hunter early jefe too

We’re about two weeks away from the 3DS Japanese lifetime number topping the PS3 one.
Yep baby !!!
Hello this is a comment.
And this is a reply.
I bought Black Ops 2 on WiiU, it looks BEAUTIFUL, has a great story, and gameplay is smooth.
I had 2, brief moments where a cutscene had framerate issues, but never during gameplay, and again, only twice in the whole game.
From someone not obsessed with CoD, I was very impressed. There is variable gameplay options (drive a car, skydive, command squads, drive Walkers, hack turrents,… It’s mosty FPS style, with a large variety of unique gameplay mechanics.
I recommend this game, even to people who dislike CoD, they stepped outside the box, and I appreciate that.
It IS still a FPS, so if you don’t like FPS’ in general, then you still want to steer clear.
That said, I want te new Animal Crossing so bad! There is a reason it’s selling so well!
Man, I can’t wait for New Leaf! >.<
It will be like turning over a new leaf for animal crossing for sure!
Haha XD
I’m buying black ops 2 tomorow! Mainly because of the local Dual screen multiplayer feature. That is undeniably incredible. My little brother shall screen peek no more! I have to sell Halo 4 amongst other games to go towards a couple of wiiu games I want becuase my 360 is getting neglected and I just traded the shit out my ps3 for hard cash.
ZombiU bundle , NSMBU , Nintendo Land , Black ops 2 , AC3 – not bad launch titles hey ?
Then I will slowly pick up , TTT2 , Darksiders 2 , Trine 2 , Nano Assault Neo , Sonic Racing , and possibly others…
The story was good, i was surprised by it, but the multiplayer is just the same old crap, and im not a fan of the zombies mode
Vita is on it’s way down on the list again and the 3DS is on the top. Nothing to report about, really.
+ the Wii sold 3,590 devices? Wow, i thought it was almost dead in Japan. Didn’t it sell like 400 last week?
is this weekly or monthly?
Weekly
Nintendo 3DS: 162,077
PlayStation Vita: 9,712
Ouch !!! When there seems to be some light for Vita, then comes another drop. What a struggle for Vita in its native market
And dumbassess think is will not sell more than vitanic.
things will only look worse for vita next week with the release of paper mario this week
already below 10k again. poor vita. it’s going to have a rough second christmas. i can’t believe sony let things get this bad for it
What can they do about it? Animal Crossing and Pokémon speaks for themselves in Japan…
They can’t do anything about it, everything that made Psp a success in its own way is not even in planning for the vita. Unless Sony can find a hit with the small amount of titles they have announced, it’s going to be a slow spiral down.
Well, the 3DS continues to dominate japan, as always
if you take everything from the PS3 down, add it all up, and double it, the 3DS would still have a good-looking lead over it. looks like japan is in need of a good new console experience. hopefully the Wii U launch should do great over there
Well spoken my friend. All still shall be well for the 3DS when it’s real rival the Nintendo Wii U is released on the 8th of December in Japan.
Nintendo REAL enemy happens to be Nintendo!!! 3DS vs Wii U……FIGHT!!!
You weak, pathetic fool! I’ve come for your soul!!!
Wii u is a console, 3ds is a handheld
the only reason ps3 is competing software-wise is due to more hardware sold and its been 6 years for the system, where the 3ds is already beginning to dominate after a little more than a year.
AND because there’s nary a 360 fanbase in Japan. I don’t think they even sell any 360s there anymore, hence the placement of PS3s in the list.
Well, I know I am buying Animal Crossing: New Leaf when it arrives in NA, so there goes one copy. The question is: physical or digital copy? I ALWAYS get physical copies of games if I can, but this seems like it’d be nice to have with you all of the time. Tough, tough, tough decisions.
For a game this big and great, go the physical direction my friend.
The Wii U looms on the horizon for Japan. It will be Nintendomination this Christmas. Leave luck to heaven.

Anyone know what the reviews for this game are like? I know Famitsu gave it a really high score.
What game? There are a ton on that list. You mean Animal Crossing?
Yeah, sorry. Animal Crossing.
Lol 3DS and PS3 are duking it out for first place. I want a demo of pokemon magnagate and the infinite dungeon. Now. And/or a demo of E.X. troopers
it’s a bit one-sided in japan though between 3DS and PS3 haha. actually the 3DS is soon to overtake the PS3 in lifetime sales in japan! i give it about 3 more weeks at the most
There’s a demo of EX Troopers on the Japanese PSN store. It’s fun. The demo has single player campaign and you can set up custom co-op games. I liked it. I really wish it was being localized.
man i want this game

Japan sure loves it’s Animal Crossing, can’t wait for it when it comes to N/A, it’ll probably be my new handheld addiction till the next Pokemon game.
